The Retirement Thread

I have risen!

Only the slightest of Burns Night hangovers, its takes more than a few single malts to KO a scotsman.

Good morning folks, I'm still in bed, its still very dark and cold, but I've had a look out the window and we still have snow on the gound, I'm on my own this morning, which feels strange, my Good Lady has had several falls, she fell in the house twice yesterday, so she's gone into hospital for an assessment.

But you have lived south of the border a long time , you have picked up some of our namby pamby English ways . You probably even wear your Y fronts under your kilt 😱

Morning all

Hey ho, it's Tuesday.

Good Morning All, another bright frosty start on the snowfields. Just below zero currently, forecast to rise to 3.
Nothing planned.

Good morning folks,

Tuesday, a double dose of excitement for me today, the bin men have just been ( Blue, Recycle ) and the veg box is due to arrive in the next half hour! Mrs Tenkay has tried out a new virtual cycling app, "Fulgaz" and is quite impressed. It's only available as an App and having looked into the options, it seems too convoluted to try and link the iPad with the computer monitor. After typing that, I've had a Father Ted inspired thought along the lines of "this Cow is small, that Cow is far away" and will try to mount the ipad on the handlebars of the turbo trainer, after all, what could possibly go wrong?
have a peaceful day

Just back a walk. The snow is turning to rain I think. Nice to walk on while it was fresh though. Somebody had been round earlier than me though as there were footprints. Judging by the spacing, a runner I think.

May I join others in wishing the best possible outcome for your good lady.

That's a bit worrying Dave. Is it a balance thing or muscle weakness do you think? Hope they get her sorted out with something to help.

Morning. Hope Mrs Dave is OK.

We have just a bit of snow left. We are expecting rain today so that should see the last of it go. 2 deg here.

Stay safe folks

Good morning all.
A good sleep last night. In bed for 21.30 and woke at 07.45.
Exciting day ahead.......the window cleaner is due this morning**.
Its also housework day whoopee!!!
And we have errhh.....not much else.
Edit
Forgot to say, its a massive 1° at the moment with sleet forecast. **Now that's a surprise as it normally rains when the window cleaner comes.

Her mobility isn't good, she has an arthritic knee, she's had an infection recently the combination of the two is what the problem is, I think they are going to try and clear the infection then assess her to see what else they can do to help her.

Anyway....... Haggis.....or Haggises.
Just reading that they/it is of English origin. The earliest recorded mention is definitely english.
I imagine the ruler at the time said something like..... "what is the shite you are eating, let them kilt, sporran wearing barbarians have it".

Interesting that you can say shite but it automatically corrects the same word with the e missing from the end to shoot!

My best wishes to both of you.
